I'm not losing my hair over this. The PRC is a massive country with
massive potential and this kind of acquisition is but the beginning, I
feel.
As to Apple in China, they're getting better day by day, but that kind
of improvement is rather snail-speed. Still, better crawling at 5 km/h
than remaining still.
Knwoing that the PRC has a huge skilled workforce and the government
will insist that much of the manufacturing is brought in-country, I
would say this is an excellent bonus for China.
With this influx of technology-based work, we can hope that PRC
citizens get better salaries.
Better salaries means they are better able to buy more Macs.
Also, I don't know how one can classify a Lenovo buyout of IBM PCs as
a "market loss" for China. I've racked my head for quite some time
over this... the ends just don't fit, the way I see it.
I'm optimistic about the situation as it stands in China. Three years
ago today, the cheapest Apple hardware gear costed you CNY 10,000+.
Ten years ago, CNY 100,000 was not astronomical. Today, an iPod mini
is in the 2,000s.
That is rather amazing progress if you ask me.
